Edward Elgar
English
Broadheath 1857-1934Worcester
Composer.
Father owned a musical shop
musical instruments explored.
A catholic in a protestant world
frowned on, ignored.
Self taught in musical composition
not a learned patrician.
Even with success, sensitive
of his low hereditary position.
Composing from pre teen age
though success came late.
The Enigma Variations
so emerged a great.
